1/2-Inch Brass Tank Valve
The Brass 1/2 Float Valve serves as a critical mechanical regulator for maintaining water levels in storage tanks, header tanks, and toilet cisterns. This heavy-duty brass component features a high-pressure orifice designed to handle standard municipal and pumped water pressures. The assembly integrates seamlessly with standard 1/2-inch BSP pipework common in residential and commercial plumbing systems.
Built for the Job
Plumbing contractors and facility managers utilize this hardware to prevent tank overflows and ensure a consistent water supply. The robust brass body resists corrosion and dezincification, making it suitable for long-term submersion in potable water systems. Its mechanical piston action provides a positive shut-off when the water reaches the designated level, reducing the risk of wastage. The threaded lever arm allows for fine-tuning the float height to suit specific tank depths or overflow requirements.
